The One Secret All Investors Need to Know

Rachel Gearhart, Associate Franchise Publisher, The Oxford Club

Rachel Gearhart

Before I started working at Wealthy Retirement's publisher, The Oxford Club, I knew some of the basics of finance.

I've always been good at sticking to a budget and hypercautious about taking on debt. Prior to starting at the Club, I was taking full advantage of employer 401(k) matching and was aggressively paying down my student loans.

In other words, I considered myself pretty savvy in terms of personal finance.

But within a year of joining The Oxford Club, I heard a presentation about optimizing your 401(k) by then-Editorial Director Andy Snyder (now the founder of Manward Press) that humbled me...

And it opened my eyes to the incredible wealth-building power of The Oxford Club.

You see, just one takeaway from that presentation could end up generating at least an extra $300,000 for me by the time I retire.

Here's what I learned...

Many brokerages bury expense ratios on their funds, making it difficult to tell exactly what you're losing in management fees.

Target-date funds may be convenient, but there's a cost for that convenience.

In my case, that cost was 0.75%.

While that may not seem high, according to TD Ameritrade, the average all-in cost of management fees is 0.45%.

So I switched from a target-date fund into lower-cost funds that still satisfied my ideal asset allocation model based on my time horizon and risk tolerance.

My average expense ratio dropped from 0.75% to 0.161%.

And over time, that extra 0.589% adds up...

WANTED: People Who HATE Flipping Houses... but LOVE Collecting Real Estate Income

Angry Business Woman
 

It seems EVERYONE wants to get rich from real estate...

Until they realize how much @#$% work it is!

But there's a better way.

In fact, Forbes says this special type of real estate investment has "a long history of outperforming direct real estate investing."

And it takes just five minutes to get started.

Click here to see how you can make a "flipless" real estate fortune.

Let's say we're starting with a 401(k) that's worth $100,000 and achieves a 7% average rate of return. Let's also assume that we're maxing out our 401(k) contribution and putting in $19,500 each year.

With the target-date fund, after 30 years, this 401(k) would be worth more than $2.3 million.

But at the same time, we'd pay a whopping $403,849 in fees.

By year 19 with the target-date fund, we'd have paid more in management fees than our initial investment.

With the lower-fee 401(k), after 30 years, this account would be worth more than $2.6 million.

And we'd have paid only $92,683 in fees.

That's a staggering $311,166 difference!

And before you think, "Well, Rachel, I don't have 30 years before I retire"...

Consider this: After just five years, the lower-fee 401(k) would save $5,842 in fees compared with a target-date fund.

That's enough for a 12-night cruise for two through the Greek islands!

While it's worth checking your brokerage's policy on contribution changes to look for any hidden fees, I made this switch to my own 401(k) for free.

And by the time I retire, that one adjustment could amount to as much as an extra $311,166 in my account.

Admittedly, there's a bit more oversight involved in my lower-fee 401(k) than in the target-date fund. Specifically, I have to remember to rebalance my portfolio once a year, and I typically do it around the holidays each year so I don't forget.

But, to me, an extra 10 minutes once a year is well worth an extra $300,000 in my golden years.

While I like to consider myself independent and financially savvy, I'm not sure I'd have made this switch (or at least made it as soon as I did) without The Oxford Club.

And all this happened within my first year of working here...

I'm now going on seven years of having access to some of the most intelligent and compassionate people in the money business.

Without a doubt, the knowledge I've gained here at the Club will add a few million dollars to my net worth by the time I retire.

And the best part is, I haven't benefited from any secret "insider" information...

All of the tips and tricks I've picked up are the same ones Chairman's Circle Members have access to.

In fact, one of the first things we give new employees access to is The Chairman's Circle.

That's because there's no better way to get employees up to speed on the company and their individual financial goals than by giving them access to every e-letter, newsletter and VIP Trading Service The Oxford Club publishes.

We feel the exact same way about our Club Members.

That's why today, CEO and Executive Publisher Julia Guth is inviting you to be a "Partner" in our $109 million business.

And you won't have to wait 30 years to reap the benefits... In fact, you could capture $64,595 in benefits today.
